Legal notice sent to Priyanka Chopra for alleged illegal construction in Mumbai

Priyanka Chopra has invited the ire of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC for illegal construction in the premises of her office in Mumbai's Oshiwara as a legal notice has been sent to her. In its notice, BMC has directed Priyanka to deconstruct the illegal alterations.

A legal notice has been sent to Priyanka Chopra by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC for illegal construction in the premises of her office at Oshiwara as well as another commercial spot, which was rented out by the actress, reports The Times Of India. The BMC, while conducting a check, discovered that an unauthorised mezzanine floor has been constructed at the Charisma Beauty Spa and Salon - the area that has been acquired on rent from Priyanka.

The BMC also identified illegal construction at the premise in the Vastu Precinct building as well, which is used by the Chopras as their office. Apart from Priyanka, the occupant of the spa, Manik Soni, has also received a notice from the BMC. Manik Soni, meanwhile told BMC that the premise was rented out to him following an agreement with Priyanka and her mother Madhu Chopra.

In its notice, BMC has directed Priyanka to deconstruct the illegal alterations in order to refurbish the original structure as permitted by the civic body in 2013. The BMC will demolish the structure if Priyanka fails to abide by its directive within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice.

“We earlier wrote, asking them to regularise the unauthorised changes after paying the penalty and remove the other illegal changes which cannot be approved. But they didn’t bother to pay any attention after which we sent them the notice under the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act (MRTP). If they fail to reply again, we will demolish the illegal constructions at both the premises,” a senior BMC official was quoted as saying by TOI.

Priyanka Chopra, meanwhile, has refused to respond to comment on the matter to TOI.
